How To Set Up Invoke Map Steps

Invoke map steps are used to invoke a UI Map to display, capture and update data using an HTML form. You may configure steps of this type to display one or more buttons in addition to the Continue button. For example, you may want to provide the ability for the user to return to a previous step to fix incorrect information. The user may click on any of these buttons when ready for the script to continue.

The following additional fields are required for Invoke map steps:

Group Name references the data area to be passed to and from the server when rendering the HTML form associated with the Map.

Use Target Area to designate where the map will be presented.

• Select BPA Zone if the map should be presented within the script area.
• Select Page Area if the map should be presented in the object display area, i.e. the frame typically used to house a maintenance page.
• Select Pop-up Window if the map should be launched in a separate window.

The Returned Values grid contains a row for every action button defined on the map.

• Returned Value is the value returned when the user clicks the button.
• Use as Default can only be turned on for one entry in the grid. If this is turned on, this value's Next Script Step will be executed if the returned value does not match any other entry in the grid. For example, if the user closes a pop-up (rather than clicking a button), the default value will be used.
• Next Script Step defines the step to execute if the user clicks the button.
